How Remote Works
Remote now offers self-enrollment. You can sign up directly on Remote.com.
Once you submit your answers to the form, you will be prompted to sign an MSA. Someone from the Remote sales team will reach out to learn more about where you’re hiring and ensure that you get access to the proper SLAs for the countries you are hiring in.
From there, you will be given a login for the Remote platform.
You can then onboard your employees onto the platform as you hire them. This enables Remote to handle all of your employee’s HR, payroll, and so on, wherever they are based in the world.
Remote Services
Remote can handle employing remote workers globally. Remote currently owns and operates legal entities in 36 countries and is on track to be in 80 countries by the end of 2021.
The most common services are:
- Handling payroll and benefits
- Legal compliance
- Payments to third parties
- Customized administration and management benefits
- Visas and immigration (on a consultant basis)
If you need help with any aspect of hiring remote employees that you don’t see on their site, I recommend reaching out to Remote. There are a number of hurdles that can come up depending on the country you’re hiring from and your individual circumstances.

Remote currently has four pricing plans as follows:
- Global Employment – $299/employee/month (for UK, Ireland and Canada billed annually), $599/employee/month (for all other countries billed annually) $349/mo per employee – For this fee, Remote will handle the entire employment process from start to finish.
